This quartz conglomerate block, which has a crocodile-like shape when viewed from the southeast, forms a landmark that can be seen from afar in an open field. The block is the remnant of a formerly more widespread conglomerate cover and probably slipped from its original higher location within a solifluction cover in the Pleistocene. The block shows, as is often the case in the quartz conglomerate bank, a grain size change from gravel (conglomerate) to sand (sandstone). (Bavarian State Office for the Environment (LfU))
